A mass of 5 kg of saturated water vapor at 150 kPa is heated at constant pressure until the temperature reaches 200°C. Calculate the work done by the steam during this process.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The work done by the steam is 213 kJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 5 kg

Pressure = 150 kPa

Temperature = 200°C

We need to calculate the specific volume

Using formula of work done

[tex]W=Pm\DeltaV[/tex]

[tex]W=Pm(\dfrac{RT_{1}}{P_{atm}}-\dfrac{RT_{2}}{P_{atm}}[/tex]

[tex]W=\dfrac{PmR}{P_{atm}}(T_{2}-T_{1})[/tex]

Where,R = gas constant

T = temperature

P = pressure

[tex]P_{atm}[/tex]=Atmosphere pressure

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

[tex]W=\dfrac{150\times10^{3}\times5\times287.05}{1.01\times10^{5}}\times(473-373)[/tex]

[tex]W=213\ kJ[/tex]

Hence, The work done by the steam is 213 kJ.
